Default Throttle canle and idle cable question

Whats up everyone, so by me not giving the proper care on the idle cable it snapped on my t he other day.... good thing it was the idle cable andni was able to drive it back home. So my question, and I’ve tried looking it up here and on line but still not sure, are they the same size cables? And what are the lengths? I tried to go and buy them online but i keep getting different sizes.
Thanks everyone

The throttle cable and idle cable may be the same length, but they are not the same part, the ends at the carburetor are different.

Replace both cables.

Check Barnett`s web site, they should have what you need listed, you can`t go wrong by using Barnett cables.
